Jagraon is a city and a municipal council, a rural police district and a sub-division of the Ludhiana district in the Indian state of Punjab. Jagraon is more than three centuries old. It has been thought that the city's original name was Jagar aon, meaning "a place of great flooding," although this flooding has since ceased. It could also be argued that Jagraon actually derives from a source with a suffix "-graon" being a development of the Sanskrit Grama, meaning "village" as in the Hindi word Gaon. Jagraon is at almost the geographical center of Punjab state, from the River Satluj. It is from its district headquarters Ludhiana, from Moga, from Nakodar and 54 miles from Barnala. Jagraon is known for its thriving rice mills. More than 100 rice mills are situated in Jagraon area.
